The messages of the Picotrack are transmitted via the mobile GSM network.
Therefore you need a standard 3 Volts or 1.8 Volts SIM card. Please give
preference to post-paid SIM cards!
To insert the SIM card first open the SIM card holder by gently sliding the top of the holder back
and then swinging it into the upright position. Then slide the SIM downwards (direction of arrow)
into the top of the SIM card holder as shown in the figure below (equally applicable for Picotrack
Endurance Primary & Rechargeable).

With the SIM inserted close the top of the holder and gently slide it forward (direction of arrow
below) until it snaps into place.

Before the Picotrack logs into the mobile GSM network, it checks whether the used SIM card is PIN
free. If it is PIN free, it will start normal operation.
If the SIM card is not PIN free, please ensure that the PIN is set to “0000” before it has been
inserted. The PIN can be changed e.g. with a normal GSM mobile phone to “0000”.
To speed up the log-in into the GSM network, the SIM card should not contain any phone book
entries.
